Citing sources
Citing sources is an essential part of the academic
writing process:
Always cite sources When you refer to someone else's words or ideas, whether found in books, articles, speeches, interviews, movies, or Web sites.
You do not have to cite facts, events, dates, and concepts that are considered to be common knowledge.
Provide a reference to a source whenever you introduce a new concept, explanation, or specific fact. By doing so, you are attributing the information to the appropriate source and providing evidence of your research.
